Since PowerPoint 2.0 is a term I made up, it's not really fair to say that any of these (below) truly exemplify PPT. 2.0. But I hope they do illustrate the general idea, a new way of thinking about PowerPoint that embodies the best of visual thinking and performance-focus rather than the text-focus (i.e., bullet points) that are PowerPoint's origins. For more info about the concept of PPT 2.0, click on the link, "What is PowerPoint 2.0?" (coming any day now--promise!)
PPT 2.0 historians (?) mark the emergence of PPT 2.0 with Al Gore's PowerPoint presentation that would become An Inconvenient Truth." You can find clips of this on YouTube.
One of the most oft-cited examples of PPT 2.0 is a wild presentation on the concept of "identity 2.0" by Dick Hardt. It's 2.0ish for the way it uses PowerPoint, and it's influenced a number of other widely-seen presentations.
The style of "Identity 2.0" is actually borrowed from presentation guru Lawrence Lessig, whose style is far more sparce (appropriate for the heady topics he discusses). Two presentations worth viewing are Lessig's presentation on intellectual property and an interesting piece he put together in support of Barack Obama (and, if you want, this Lessig imitation, which is much shorter).
Another great place to find examples of great speakers using PowerPoint in cool (2.0?) ways is the TED conference website. This site is well worth visiting. Lots of famous, interesting people with innovative approaches to PowerPoint and to presentation in general.
Some PowerPoint presentations (slides only) that are worth examining: Thirst (an interesting presentation about water use and waste) Web 2.0 (a bit text-y in the middle, but you get the idea)
Healthcare on a Napkin--Dan Roam--one of the most revolutionary uses of PowerPoint that I've ever seen. To hear Dan Roam present his "on a napkin" approach, go to this link to download the .wmv file. It's a long presentation, but you only need to watch the first 10-15 minutes (when he reviews his work) to get the idea. Again, this approach is groundbreaking.
[I found these presentations at Slideshare.com, a great place to search for PowerPoint presentations to check out.]
[I've not yet been able to upload student attempts at PPT 2.0 from my class because of the space limitations of Wikispaces. Once I find a place to upload the files, I'll post links and an index here. Students are getting it, trying it, and coming up with some cool stuff. Stay tuned.]
